About Soho Dragon

Sourced by ZipRecruiter

We know that senior business executives are busy. We understand the struggle of ensuring that your IT project doesn't put round pegs into square holes. With our experience and a focus on teamwork and best practices, SoHo Dragon ensures that your project will be delivered right the first time (yes, even the hairy, must-be-delivered-tomorrow projects). We work with companies that are growing rapidly but whose systems lag. They are stretched to the seams, with leadership that is fed up with wasting resources on administration and wondering why their workers take so long to finish their tasks. SoHo Dragon does not have a sales team. We listen to our clients. We frequently hear that Microsoft software or financial solutions aren’t making the difference our clients are looking for. That’s where our seasoned technologists come in, making sure that Microsoft software and financial solutions are implemented, structured, and used correctly. We make the technology work for your business.
